DANIEL 2 Interlinear Overview
(Updates to the font sizes and the addition of cantillation markers is in progress)
Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that agitates him.
Because he is unable to recall the dream,
he musters all the wisdom of Babylon to have
the dream related and provide the interpretation.
Due to the impossibility of the task, no one can comply,
and all the wise elite are consequently sentenced to death.
Daniel and his companions pray to God for mercy and are granted
the necessary information concerning Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
This dream is a prophecy in prophetic symbolism about the major
empires which will control civilization until
the final Advent of the Kingdom of God.
Daniel 2:1
וּבִשְׁנַ֣ת שְׁתַּ֗יִם לְמַלְכוּת֙ נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּ֔ר
Howbeit in year two of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar
(Accession year +1 = 607BC Babylonian reckoning),
חָלַ֥ם נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּ֖ר חֲלֹמ֑וֹת
Nebuchadnezzar dreamt dreams;
וַתִּתְפָּ֣עֶם רוּח֔וֹ וּשְׁנָת֖וֹ נִהְיְתָ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃
And his spirit was in turmoil,
and his sleep was gone for him;
Daniel 2:2
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַ֠מֶּלֶךְ לִקְרֹ֨א לַֽחַרְטֻמִּ֜ים וְלָֽאַשָּׁפִ֗ים
And the king gave orders to summon the sacred scribes and the conjurers,
וְלַֽמְכַשְּׁפִים֙ וְלַכַּשְׂדִּ֔ים
And the sorcerers and the Chaldeans
(Babylonian ruling class/sages), —
לְהַגִּ֥יד לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חֲלֹמֹתָ֑יו
To declare to the king his dreams;
וַיָּבֹ֕אוּ וַיַּֽעַמְד֖וּ לִפְנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Thus they came and they stood,
in the presence of the king;
Daniel 2:3
וַיֹּ֧אמֶר לָהֶ֛ם הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חֲל֣וֹם חָלָ֑מְתִּי
And the king said to them,
“I dreamt a dream:
וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם רוּחִ֔י לָדַ֖עַת אֶֽת־הַחֲלֽוֹם׃
And my spirit is in agitation,
to know the dream!”
Daniel 2:4
וַֽיְדַבְּר֧וּ הַכַּשְׂדִּ֛ים לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֲרָמִ֑ית
Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king,
in Aramaic:
מַלְכָּא֙ לְעָלְמִ֣ין חֱיִ֔י
“O King, Live for ever!
אֱמַ֥ר חֶלְמָ֛א לעבדיך לְעַבְדָ֖ךְ וּפִשְׁרָ֥א נְחַוֵּֽא׃
Tell your servants the dream,
Then we can show the meaning.”
Daniel 2:5
עָנֵ֤ה מַלְכָּא֙ וְאָמַ֣ר לכשדיא לְכַשְׂדָּאֵ֔י
“The king responded,
and said to the Chaldeans,
מִלְּתָ֖א מִנִּ֣י אַזְדָּ֑א
“The spoken word from me is definite:
הֵ֣ן לָ֤א תְהֽוֹדְעוּנַּ֙נִי֙ חֶלְמָ֣א וּפִשְׁרֵ֔הּ
If ye do not make known to me
the dream and it’s interpretation,
הַדָּמִין֙ תִּתְעַבְד֔וּן וּבָתֵּיכ֖וֹן נְוָלִ֥י יִתְּשָׂמֽוּן׃
Ye shall be dismembered,
and your houses made a garbage dump!”
Daniel 2:6
וְהֵ֨ן חֶלְמָ֤א וּפִשְׁרֵהּ֙ תְּֽהַחֲוֺ֔ן
“But if ye should declare the dream and its interpretation,
מַתְּנָ֤ן וּנְבִזְבָּה֙ וִיקָ֣ר שַׂגִּ֔יא
Gifts and a reward and great honour
תְּקַבְּל֖וּן מִן־קֳדָמָ֑י
Ye shall receive from before me;
לָהֵ֕ן חֶלְמָ֥א וּפִשְׁרֵ֖הּ הַחֲוֺֽנִי׃
But, the dream and it’s interpretation show me here and now!”
Daniel 2:7
עֲנ֥וֹ תִנְיָנ֖וּת וְאָמְרִ֑ין
They answered a second time, saying:
מַלְכָּ֕א חֶלְמָ֛א יֵאמַ֥ר לְעַבְד֖וֹהִי
“O King, let him relate the dream to his servants,
וּפִשְׁרָ֥ה נְהַחֲוֵֽה׃
Then we will make known its interpretation;”
Daniel 2:8
עָנֵ֤ה מַלְכָּא֙ וְאָמַ֔ר
The king responding and saying:
מִן־יַצִּיב֙ יָדַ֣ע אֲנָ֔ה
“With certainty I am of understanding,
דִּ֥י עִדָּנָ֖א אַנְתּ֣וּן זָבְנִ֑ין
that ye are in the process of buying time,
כָּל־קֳבֵל֙ דִּ֣י חֲזֵית֔וֹן
Since ye have seen
דִּ֥י אַזְדָּ֖א מִנִּ֥י מִלְּתָֽא׃
that the word from me is definite:—”
Daniel 2:9
דִּ֣י הֵן־חֶלְמָא֩ לָ֨א תְהֽוֹדְעֻנַּ֜נִי
“That if ye do not make the dream known to me,
חֲדָה־הִ֣יא דָֽתְכ֗וֹן
the decree for you is one only,
וּמִלָּ֨ה כִדְבָ֤ה וּשְׁחִיתָה֙ הַזְמִנְתּוּן֙ הִזְדְqמִנְתּוּן֙
Furthermore a word — a lie and corruption ye have colluded
לְמֵאמַ֣ר קָֽדָמַ֔י עַ֛ד דִּ֥י עִדָּנָ֖א יִשְׁתַּנֵּ֑א
To tell before me,
until the time might somehow be changed!
לָהֵ֗ן חֶלְמָא֙ אֱמַ֣רוּ לִ֔י
But, tell me the dream,
וֽ͏ְאִנְדַּ֕ע דִּ֥י פִשְׁרֵ֖הּ תְּהַחֲוֻנַּֽנִי׃
And then I will know that you can interpret the meaning for me!”
Daniel 2:10
עֲנ֨וֹ כשדיא כַשְׂדָּאֵ֤י קֳדָם־מַלְכָּא֙ וְאָ֣מְרִ֔ין
The Chaldeans spoke up before the king also saying:
לָֽא־אִיתַ֤י אֲנָשׁ֙ עַל־יַבֶּשְׁתָּ֔א
“There isn’t a person on Planet Earth,
דִּ֚י מִלַּ֣ת מַלְכָּ֔א יוּכַ֖ל לְהַחֲוָיָ֑ה
Who is even able to make known the king’s matter;
כָּל־קֳבֵ֗ל דִּ֚י כָּל־מֶ֙לֶךְ֙ רַ֣ב וְשַׁלִּ֔יט
Because and since any great and powerful king
מִלָּ֤ה כִדְנָה֙ לָ֣א שְׁאֵ֔ל
Has ever requested a thing such as this,
לְכָל־חַרְטֹּ֖ם וְאָשַׁ֥ף וְכַשְׂדָּֽי׃
Of any magician, or sorcerer or soothsayer;”
Daniel 2:11
וּמִלְּתָ֨א דִֽי־מַלְכָּ֤ה שָׁאֵל֙ יַקִּירָ֔ה
“Moreover the thing what the king is asking for is difficult,
וְאָחֳרָן֙ לָ֣א אִיתַ֔י
And there is not another,
דִּ֥י יְחַוִּנַּ֖הּ קֳדָ֣ם מַלְכָּ֑א
Who could even declare it before the king,
לָהֵ֣ן אֱלָהִ֔ין דִּ֚י מְדָ֣רְה֔וֹן
Except gods, whose abode
עִם־בִּשְׂרָ֖א לָ֥א אִיתֽוֹהִי׃
Is not with mankind.”
Daniel 2:12
כָּל־קֳבֵ֣ל דְּנָ֔ה מַלְכָּ֕א בְּנַ֖ס וּקְצַ֣ף שַׂגִּ֑יא
Whereupon the king became angry and extremely furious;
וַאֲמַר֙ לְה֣וֹבָדָ֔ה לְכֹ֖ל חַכִּימֵ֥י בָבֶֽל׃
And he gave orders to slay
all of the wise men of Babylon;
Daniel 2:13
וְדָתָ֣א נֶפְקַ֔ת וְחַכִּֽימַיָּ֖א מִֽתְקַטְּלִ֑ין
Thus the decree went forth,
and the wise men were being butchered;
וּבְע֛וֹ דָּנִיֵּ֥אל וְחַבְר֖וֹהִי
And they sought Daniel and his companions,
לְהִתְקְטָלָֽה׃ פ
to be like-wise killed;
Daniel 2:14
בֵּאדַ֣יִן דָּנִיֵּ֗אל הֲתִיב֙ עֵטָ֣א וּטְעֵ֔ם
Right then Daniel,
He gave back counsel and sound judgment,
לְאַרְי֕וֹךְ
To Arioch ( “lion-like” and/or “Aryan” )
רַב־טַבָּחַיָּ֖א דִּ֣י מַלְכָּ֑א
the executioners’ royal commander,
דִּ֚י נְפַ֣ק לְקַטָּלָ֔ה לְחַכִּימֵ֖י בָּבֶֽל׃
Who had gone out to butcher
the wise men of Babylon;
Daniel 2:15
עָנֵה וְאָמַר לְאַרְיֹוךְ שַׁלִּיטָא דִֽי־מַלְכָּא
responding and saying to Arioch, the one having the king’s authority:
עַל־מָה דָתָא מְהַחְצְפָה מִן־קֳדָם מַלְכָּא
“why is the decree so severe from before the king?”
אֱדַיִן מִלְּתָא הֹודַע אַרְיֹוךְ לְדָנִיֵּֽאל׃
Arioch then communicated the matter to Daniel
Daniel 2:16
וְדָנִיֵּאל עַל וּבְעָה מִן־מַלְכָּא דִּי זְמָן יִנְתֵּן־לֵהּ
Then Daniel went in and requested from the king
that he would give him time
וּפִשְׁרָא לְהַֽחֲוָיָה לְמַלְכָּֽא׃ פ
and so to show the king the interpretation
Daniel 2:17
אֱדַיִן דָּֽנִיֵּאל לְבַיְתֵהּ אֲזַל
Afterwards Daniel went to his house
וְלַחֲנַנְיָה מִֽישָׁאֵל וַעֲזַרְיָה חַבְרֹוהִי מִלְּתָא הֹודַֽע׃
and to Hananya, Mishael and Azarya his friends
he made the matter known
Daniel 2:18
וְרַחֲמִין לְמִבְעֵא מִן־קֳדָם אֱלָהּ שְׁמַיָּא עַל־רָזָה דְּנָה
and to request mercies from before the God of Heaven
concerning this secret,
דִּי לָא יְהֹֽבְדוּן דָּנִיֵּאל וְחַבְרֹוהִי
that they might not destroy Daniel and his friends
עִם־שְׁאָר חַכִּימֵי בָבֶֽל׃
together with Babylon’s remnant of wise men.
Daniel 2:19
אֱדַיִן לְדָנִיֵּאל בְּחֶזְוָא דִֽי־לֵילְיָא רָזָה גֲלִי
Afterwards by means of the Vision of the Night
the secret was revealed to Daniel
אֱדַיִן דָּֽנִיֵּאל בָּרִךְ לֶאֱלָהּ שְׁמַיָּֽא׃
Daniel thereupon praised the God of Heaven
Daniel 2:20
עָנֵה דָֽנִיֵּאל וְאָמַר
Daniel responding and saying
לֶהֱוֵא שְׁמֵהּ דִּֽי־אֱלָהָא מְבָרַךְ מִן־עָלְמָא וְעַד־עָלְמָא
“let His Name, He Who is God,
be blessed from Antiquity even to Eternity
דִּי חָכְמְתָא וּגְבוּרְתָא דִּי לֵֽהּ־הִֽיא׃
Seeing that Wisdom and Might
are such that belong to Him Himself
Daniel 2:21
וְהוּא מְהַשְׁנֵא עִדָּנַיָּא וְזִמְנַיָּא
And it is He Who changes the seasons and the years,
מְהַעְדֵּה מַלְכִין וּמְהָקֵים מַלְכִין
Who removes kings and Who sets up kings,
יָהֵב חָכְמְתָא לְחַכִּימִין וּמַנְדְּעָא לְיָדְעֵי בִינָֽה׃
giving the wisdom to sages,
and the knowledge to those knowing discernment
Daniel 2:22
הוּא גָּלֵא עַמִּיקָתָא וּמְסַתְּרָתָא
He is the Revelator of the deep mysteries and the hidden things
יָדַע מָה בַחֲשֹׁוכָא
knowing what is in the darkness
וּנְהִירָא עִמֵּהּ שְׁרֵֽא׃
But the Light encamps with Him
Daniel 2:23
לָךְ אֱלָהּ אֲבָהָתִי מְהֹודֵא וּמְשַׁבַּח אֲנָה
You, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising
דִּי חָכְמְתָא וּגְבוּרְתָא יְהַבְתְּ לִי
that you gave me wisdom and might
וּכְעַן הֹֽודַעְתַּנִי דִּֽי־בְעֵינָא מִנָּךְ
and at this time you let me know that which we asked from you,
דִּֽי־מִלַּת מַלְכָּא הֹודַעְתֶּֽנָא׃
you showed us that matter of the king!”
Daniel 2:24
כָּל־קֳבֵל דְּנָה דָּֽנִיֵּאל עַל עַל־אַרְיֹוךְ
Wholly on this account Daniel went unto Arioch,
לְהֹובָדָה לְחַכִּימֵי בָבֶל דִּי מַנִּי מַלְכָּא
whom the king had designated to destroy Babylon’s wise men,
אֲזַל וְכֵן אֲמַר־לֵהּ לְחַכִּימֵי בָבֶל אַל־תְּהֹובֵד
he went and said thus to him: “May you not destroy Babylon’s wise men;
הַעֵלְנִי קֳדָם מַלְכָּא וּפִשְׁרָא לְמַלְכָּא אֲחַוֵּֽא׃ ס
Bring me in before the king
then I can declare to the king the interpretation.”
Daniel 2:25
אֱדַיִן אַרְיֹוךְ בְּהִתְבְּהָלָה הַנְעֵל לְדָנִיֵּאל קֳדָם מַלְכָּא
Thereupon Arioch quickly brought in Daniel before the king
וְכֵן אֲמַר־לֵהּ דִּֽי־הַשְׁכַּחַת גְּבַר מִן־בְּנֵי גָֽלוּתָא דִּי יְהוּד
and said to him: “ I found a man from among the sons of Judah’s exile,
דִּי פִשְׁרָא לְמַלְכָּא יְהֹודַֽע׃
who can make known the interpretation to the king.”
Daniel 2:26
עָנֵה מַלְכָּא וְאָמַר לְדָנִיֵּאל
the king responding and saying to Daniel,
דִּי שְׁמֵהּ בֵּלְטְשַׁאצַּר
whose name was Belteshazzar,
הַאִיתַיִך כָּהֵל לְהֹודָעֻתַנִי חֶלְמָא דִֽי־חֲזֵית וּפִשְׁרֵֽהּ׃
“Are you able to make known to me the dream which I saw
and it’s interpretation?”
Daniel 2:27
עָנֵה דָנִיֵּאל קֳדָם מַלְכָּא וְאָמַר
Daniel, making reply before the king and saying
רָזָה דִּֽי־מַלְכָּא שָׁאֵל
לָא חַכִּימִין אָֽשְׁפִין חַרְטֻמִּין גָּזְרִין יָכְלִין לְהַֽחֲוָיָה לְמַלְכָּֽא׃
“There are not wise men, enchanters, sacred scribes, determiners,
who are able to show the king the secret that the king is requesting
Daniel 2:28
בְּרַם אִיתַי אֱלָהּ בִּשְׁמַיָּא גָּלֵא רָזִין
Nevertheless there is God in Heaven , the Revelator of Secrets,
וְהֹודַע לְמַלְכָּא נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר
and He has made known to king Nebuchadnezzar
מָה דִּי לֶהֱוֵא בְּאַחֲרִית יֹומַיָּא
what will happen in the latter days.
חֶלְמָךְ וְחֶזְוֵי רֵאשָׁךְ עַֽל־מִשְׁכְּבָךְ דְּנָה הֽוּא׃ פ
Your dream and visions of your head upon your bed, this is it:
Daniel 2:29
אַנְתָּה מַלְכָּא רַעְיֹונָךְ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבָךְ
You, O King, your thoughts upon your bed:-
סְלִקוּ מָה דִּי לֶהֱוֵא אַחֲרֵי דְנָה
Were ascended what will come to pass hereafter
וְגָלֵא רָזַיָּא הֹודְעָךְ מָה־דִי לֶהֱוֵֽא׃
and the Revealer of Secrets causes you to know what is to be!
Daniel 2:30
וַאֲנָה לָא בְחָכְמָה דִּֽי־אִיתַי בִּי
מִן־כָּל־חַיַּיָּא רָזָא דְנָה גֱּלִי לִי
But as for me, this secret being revealed to me is not
on account of wisdom that is in me more than any living
לָהֵן עַל־דִּבְרַת דִּי פִשְׁרָא לְמַלְכָּא יְהֹודְעוּן
but to the intent that they should make known
the interpretation to the king
וְרַעְיֹונֵי לִבְבָךְ תִּנְדַּֽע׃
and you might know the thoughts of your heart
Daniel 2:31
אַנְתָּה מַלְכָּא חָזֵה הֲוַיְתָ
You, O king, you were looking
וַאֲלוּ צְלֵם חַד שַׂגִּיא
And behold a great image!
צַלְמָא דִּכֵּן רַב וְזִיוֵהּ יַתִּיר קָאֵם לְקָבְלָךְ וְרֵוֵהּ דְּחִֽיל׃
That grand image, standing in front of you,
it’s splendour was extraordinary
and it’s appearance frightening
Daniel 2:32
הוּא צַלְמָא רֵאשֵׁהּ דִּֽי־דְהַב טָב
That image, it’s head was of pure gold;
חֲדֹוהִי וּדְרָעֹוהִי דִּי כְסַף
It’s chest area and it’s arms of silver;
מְעֹוהִי וְיַרְכָתֵהּ דִּי נְחָֽשׁ׃
It’s abdominal area and it’s thighs of bronze;
Daniel 2:33
שָׁקֹוהִי דִּי פַרְזֶל
It’s legs of iron;
רַגְלֹוהִי מִנְּהֹון דִּי פַרְזֶל וּמִנְּהֹון דִּי חֲסַֽף׃
It’s feet, part of them iron and part of them potshard
Daniel 2:34
חָזֵה הֲוַיְתָ עַד דִּי הִתְגְּזֶרֶת אֶבֶן דִּי־לָא בִידַיִן
You were looking until that a stone was cut,
not by human hands,
וּמְחָת לְצַלְמָא עַל־רַגְלֹוהִי
and struck the image against it’s feet
דִּי פַרְזְלָא וְחַסְפָּא וְהַדֵּקֶת הִמֹּֽון׃
of iron and potshard, and it broke them in pieces
Daniel 2:35
בֵּאדַיִן דָּקוּ כַחֲדָה פַּרְזְלָא חַסְפָּא נְחָשָׁא כַּסְפָּא וְדַהֲבָא
At the same time the iron, the potshard, the silver and the gold fell into pieces together
וַהֲוֹו כְּעוּר מִן־אִדְּרֵי־קַיִט וּנְשָׂא הִמֹּון רוּחָא
and became as chaff from a summer threshing floor
and the wind carried them away
וְכָל־אֲתַר לָא־הִשְׁתֲּכַח לְהֹון
and there wasn’t any place found for them
וְאַבְנָא דִּֽי־מְחָת לְצַלְמָא הֲוָת לְטוּר רַב וּמְלָת כָּל־אַרְעָֽא׃
then the stone that struck the image became
a great mountain and it filled the whole Earth
Daniel 2:36
דְּנָה חֶלְמָא וּפִשְׁרֵהּ נֵאמַר קֳדָם־מַלְכָּֽא׃
This is the dream and we will declare its
interpretation before the king
Daniel 2:37
אַנְתָּה מַלְכָּא מֶלֶךְ מַלְכַיָּא
You O king are king of kings
דִּי אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּא מַלְכוּתָא חִסְנָא וְתָקְפָּא וִֽיקָרָא יְהַב־לָֽךְ׃
For the God of Heaven gave you the kingdom,
power and might and honour
Daniel 2:38
וּבְכָל־דִּי דָאֲרִין בְּֽנֵי־אֲנָשָׁא חֵיוַת בָּרָא וְעֹוף־שְׁמַיָּא
And wherever they are dwelling, the children of men,
the beasts of the field, and the birds of the skies
יְהַב בִּידָךְ וְהַשְׁלְטָךְ בְּכָלְּהֹון
He gave then into your hand and made you ruler over them all:
אַנְתָּה־הוּא רֵאשָׁה דִּי דַהֲבָֽא׃
You are that head of gold!ּ
Daniel 2:39
וּבָתְרָךְ תְּקוּם מַלְכוּ אָחֳרִי אַרְעָא מִנָּךְ
And in your track will arise another kingdom inferior to yours
וּמַלְכוּ תְלִיתָיָא אָחֳרִי דִּי נְחָשָׁא דִּי תִשְׁלַט בְּכָל־אַרְעָֽא׃
then another kingdom, a third, that of the bronze,
which shall rule in all the earth
וּמַלְכוּ רְבִיעָיָה תֶּהֱוֵא תַקִּיפָה כְּפַרְזְלָא
Then a fourth kingdom, it shall be strong like the iron,
כָּל־קֳבֵל דִּי פַרְזְלָא מְהַדֵּק וְחָשֵׁל כֹּלָּא
just as iron breaking in pieces and pounding everything.
וּֽכְפַרְזְלָא דִּֽי־מְרָעַע כָּל־אִלֵּין תַּדִּק וְתֵרֹֽעַ׃
And so like iron that crushes,
all of these it will break in pieces and crush.
Daniel 2:41
וְדִֽי־חֲזַיְתָה רַגְלַיָּא וְאֶצְבְּעָתָא
And whereas you observed the feet and toes,
מִנְּהֹון חֲסַף דִּֽי־פֶחָר וּמִנְּהֹון פַּרְזֶל
part of them potshard and part iron;
מַלְכוּ פְלִיגָה תֶּהֱוֵה וּמִן־נִצְבְּתָא דִי פַרְזְלָא לֶֽהֱוֵא־בַהּ
it shall be a divided kingdom,
but some of the hardness of the iron shall be within it
וכָּל־קֳבֵל דִּי חֲזַיְתָה פַּרְזְלָא מְעָרַב בַּחֲסַף טִינָֽא׃
and so corresponding to that which you saw –
iron being mixed with shard clay material
Daniel 2:42
וְאֶצְבְּעָת רַגְלַיָּא מִנְּהֹון פַּרְזֶל וּמִנְּהֹון חֲסַף
Moreover the toes of the feet –
part of them iron and part of them potshard…
מִן־קְצָת מַלְכוּתָא תֶּהֱוֵה תַקִּיפָה וּמִנַּהּ תֶּהֱוֵה תְבִירָֽה׃
Part of the end of the kingdom will be mighty
and part of it will be brittle
Daniel 2:43
דִי חֲזַיְתָ פַּרְזְלָא מְעָרַב בַּחֲסַף טִינָא
That which you saw, the iron mixed with shard clay material…
מִתְעָרְבִין לֶהֱוֹן בִּזְרַע אֲנָשָׁא
They shall be mixing themselves by human gene,
וְלָֽא־לֶהֱוֹן דָּבְקִין דְּנָה עִם־דְּנָה
But will not be holding together,
הֵֽא־כְדִי פַרְזְלָא לָא מִתְעָרַב עִם־חַסְפָּֽא׃
Behold like iron not blending with potshard!
Daniel 2:44
וּֽבְיֹומֵיהֹון דִּי מַלְכַיָּא אִנּוּן
Now in their (those king’s) days,
יְקִים אֱלָהּ שְׁמַיָּא מַלְכוּ דִּי לְעָלְמִין לָא תִתְחַבַּל
the God of Heaven shall set up a Kingdom
that for Eternity shall not be destroyed
וּמַלְכוּתָה לְעַם אָחֳרָן לָא תִשְׁתְּבִק
And the Kingdom shall not be left to another people
תַּדִּק וְתָסֵיף כָּל־אִלֵּין מַלְכְוָתָא וְהִיא תְּקוּם לְעָלְמַיָּֽא׃
It shall shatter and put an end to all these kingdoms
and it shall endure for Eternity
Daniel 2:45
כָּל־קֳבֵל דִּֽי־חֲזַיְתָ דִּי מִטּוּרָא אִתְגְּזֶרֶת אֶבֶן דִּי־לָא בִידַיִן
Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut from the mountain
without human instrumentality
וְהַדֶּקֶת פַּרְזְלָא נְחָשָׁא חַסְפָּא כַּסְפָּא וְדַהֲבָא
and broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay,
the silver, and also the gold:
אֱלָהּ רַב הֹודַע לְמַלְכָּא מָה דִּי לֶהֱוֵא אַחֲרֵי דְנָה
The Great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter
וְיַצִּיב חֶלְמָא וּמְהֵימַן פִּשְׁרֵֽהּ׃ פ
and so the dream is certain and it’s interpretation trustworthy.”
Daniel 2:46
בֵּאדַיִן מַלְכָּא נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר נְפַל עַל־אַנְפֹּוהִי וּלְדָנִיֵּאל סְגִד
Nebuchanezzar the king then fell upon his face
and did Daniel homage
וּמִנְחָה וְנִיחֹחִין אֲמַר לְנַסָּכָה לֵֽהּ׃
moreover a cereal offering and sweet odours
he commanded to be offered for him;
Daniel 2:47
עָנֵה מַלְכָּא לְדָנִיֵּאל וְאָמַר
the king speaking to Daniel and saying,
מִן־קְשֹׁט דִּי אֱלָהֲכֹון הוּא אֱלָהּ אֱלָהִין
“of a truth, the God of you all, He is a God of gods
וּמָרֵא מַלְכִין וְגָלֵה רָזִין
and a Lord of kings and a Revealer of Mysteries,
דִּי יְכֵלְתָּ לְמִגְלֵא רָזָה דְנָֽה׃
seeing that you were able to reveal this secret”
DANIEL 2:48
אֱדַיִן מַלְכָּא לְדָנִיֵּאל רַבִּי
The king then made Daniel great,
וּמַתְּנָן רַבְרְבָן שַׂגִּיאָן יְהַב־לֵהּ
and gave him many great gifts
וְהַשְׁלְטֵהּ עַל כָּל־מְדִינַת בָּבֶל
and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon
וְרַב־סִגְנִין עַל כָּל־חַכִּימֵי בָבֶֽל׃
and chief governor over all Babylon’s wise men
DANIEL 2:49
וְדָנִיֵּאל בְּעָא מִן־מַלְכָּא
Then Daniel asked of the king…
